* The ‘Crime Clock’ should be viewed with care. Being the most aggregate representation of UCR data, it is designed to convey the annual reported crime experience by showing the relative frequency of occurrence of the Index Offenses. The mode of display should not be taken to imply there is regularity in the commission of offenses; rather, it represents the annual ratio of crime to fixed time intervals.
